The Jacksonville Jaguars starters had the day off against the Detroit Lions. After a couple of successful joint practices, Doug Pederson and his staff decided they liked what they saw from their number one unit. This offered plenty of snaps to players looking to solidify their positions on the roster.
The run game against the Lions mainly stayed consistent with Week 1, but the Jaguars did add one more concept: Wham. This is a logical progression since the Jaguars have been running split zone well this preseason.
It can go by many different names, but split zone involves an offensive player (usually the TE lined up as wing) coming across the formation to block the backside end man on the line of scrimmage (EMLOS).
